Hi All After having done a online update using Yast(text) after a minimal install, Yast broke. It complained about the ncurses package that had to be reinstalled. I've done everything from removing the updated Yast2 packages and reinstalling them from the SuSE 9.2 cd's to doing a repair by rebooting and using the software repair option. The software repair gave me back a workable Yast, but not a completely fixed one. After doing some more yast2 rpm reinstalls I managed to get everything back. Then to see what broke Yast I ran another online update. The only packages that needed updating were Curl, Perl(5.8.3 I think) and Perl-DBI. After doing the update Yast broke again. I now get: "warning: the ncurses frontend is installed but does not work You need to install yast2-ncurses to use the YaST2 text mode interface". I've reinstalled the yast2-ncurses package several times. Still nothing. Uninstalling all the Yast packages and reinstalling them also has no affect. Has anyone had the same problem with Yast Online Update? I've read a lot of articles about this, but none explain why this is happening. Yast Online Update is a great tool to use and I don't see why it should break things... Ver: SuSE 9.2 Kernel: 2.6.8-24.14-smp Hardware: Compaq Proliant ML350 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
